Just for fun...

[Jeremy McCreary]

As I am both American and Canadian, I hope I have at least a tenuous grasp mate.

I'm sure you do. You aren't prone to sweeping generalizations that couldn't possibly be true.

But Canadians are different. They ARE all alike.

Never.
I hadn't understood that either.
Now, Curd is not Curt I thought English speakers were sensitive to even tiny deviation from the proper pronunciation!

What's the thing with the corgi puppies?

He used Curt in American movies. Curd just doesn't have star quality in English, ya know?

Corgis are short. https://kebabthecorgi.com/

And now, back to renovating my igloo...

I don't know, fried cheese curds are pretty darned popular in the upper Midwest.

Bacon, eh? Some day we need to have a talk about what the word "bacon" means. We'll have to include @peterh_nz , 'cuz the Kiwis have no idea, either. (To be fair, though, they REALLY know what to do with potatoes.)

Jeremy, I know Californians are different, we watched Baywatch as well.

In my mind you are an aged David Duchovny, the Porsche is on axle stands in the garage, but you still have the twinkle in your eye

To be completely honest, I am addicted to the regular kind of lovely fat laden strips/rashers as you are I'm sure.
That said, thick cut only, if you please...

 

[PedalUma]

Is that so hard to grasp?

I am not sure were to put my hands.

I knew my marriage was in trouble the day my wife brought home a jar opener.

A lot of digital clocks flash 12:00 when they need to be reset. If you're afraid of tech, they might flash 12:00 for a very long time.

I have a under counter Sony radio in the kitchen that's been flashing 12:00 for many years. The onboard battery died and I have to remove the microwave to access the battery tray. It can stay flashing!

I have never set the time on my camera. It was midnight January First for the time stamp when I turned it on. Now it thinks it is the last week of February.

Our Poutine is a little different here in the alternate universe CA. It has fries and queso fresco but also guacamole, pico de gallo, crispy pork, sour cream, and refried beans. This is the northern point on the king's road to Mexico City, El Camino Real. The queso is thickly melted all over the fries.

I only have to ignore my microwave for 60 seconds after a power outage when it won't stop bugging me to tell it what time it is.

Then with one last flash and a single beep, it shuts up and I can cook normally without either of us knowing what time it is.

It's bad enough that it knows how long to cook my secret recipes, I'm not going to tell it what the ingredients are !!

Pork, Lamb, Chicken, Fish, Frozen or Fresh, Popcorn, Pizza, Leftovers,..

"None Of Your Damn Business!

[RunForTheHills]

We get so many power outages in the mountains of Southern California, that I have given up setting the clocks on the microwave and stove. I put UPS's (battery backup) on all the electronics I care about and the backup generator kicks on in less than a minute.

I woke up yesterday at 7:00 but didn't know if it was morning or night.

My phone was no help with no am, pm, or army time.

I could have Googled the time but it was easier to just wait 20 minutes and see what happens.

It turned out to be nighttime because it was still dark out.

I've lost all sense of time and space, and now that I'm an old fart, Gravity is starting to mess with my head too and I'm finding myself wearing my helmet all winter long to keep myself safe.

I wouldn't dare to actually ride my ebike in the winter though.

It's too cold out, and Way Too Dangerous !!

We used to crack jokes in math class with our calculators and the upside-down alphabet.

There's only a few consonants and vowels to work with, so we had to get creative.

The acronym in electronics class for the resistor color code was NASTY, and the teacher would say tell us what it was.

We all found out though, and none of us ever forgot it.

I am not seeing a videos of this years holiday lighted bike ride. It was great. But I did spot this, which is also fun. Watch one minute.
